I refuse to use a plastic bag. I'm surprised they used it. I wanted an old school recipe. And why did she remove all of the skin? What would happen if you just scored it?
We bought a pig from the neighbor. For meat. Have fresh hams. Had to look up how to cook these freah hams. Found this. Followed directions (less 20° marinate nor plastic bag), and it was incredible! I may never get a “regular” ham again! Everyone loved it! Thanks ladies!
First video I watched for Baked Ham, & you can just tell when someone knows what they are doing 12 vids later made this one & it has been fantastic both times!!! Tried a couple other hams ways this year, Christie's is definitely the best!!!
That Blueberry Cake video I'll do next Thanks!!!! (Porterhouse & Scallops you're the best!!!)
I make this every Christmas. Family recipe. To die for. Omg
This was the BEST ham I've ever eaten, roasted, sliced and I'm an old guy. Did this for Christmas 2021 and I just ordered this year's ham for this year's meal. It's like prime rib, only the flavors are definitely pork. Bon appetite
Amazing Recipe! 😃
You do't need to brine the fresh ham?
Made exact same recipe. Way too salty. 1/3c of kosher salt is too much.
Damn Ive never even heard of fresh ham
Trying it today. Will keep you posted
That slow roasted ham looks so delicious.
That looks soo good!!!! I have never made one. Does it taste anything like a pork shoulder or a pork loin? Or does it taste like ham?
This is an amazing recipe! Have tried this recipe three times; the first two were in my gas oven, but since we live in Florida and it was the heat of the Summer, The 3rd time was in an electric Oster roaster oven, not only did it give off much less heat in the kitchen, but my 14 lb. Pork shank cooked in just 3 hours at 325 degrees. We did follow the instructions however in using our gas oven when basting with glaze the remaining 20 minutes.
Every time we make this recipe, not only does the presentation get ooh’s and ahh’s from our dinner guests but hands-down, the most tender, juicy and succulent piece of meat you’ll ever consume! Be sure to plan all the necessary steps involved…in the end is a magnificent pay off!
Thank you Christie and ATK for such a fabulous recipe!
(forgot to mention that another contributor to the heat in the kitchen are all your dinner guests “elbowing in” for a piece of pork, impatient for it to get to the table!!)😆
You lost me at "remove the skin"….
She missed fresh garlic and black pepper…
How much fat doe Christie pack on?
I made this recipe for Easter and it was AMAZING! So delicious!!
Christie, will you please adopt me? lol…This looks incredible <3
Cooked this ham for Easter. The time she cooked her ham way over cooked for me. I grad a 10lb ham and cooked for 4 hours. Probably would have been done at 3 hours. I was at church while it cooked otherwise I would have checked it more often. So make sure your home to test the temperature. This was costly so not sure I will try it again.
Cannot compete with a pernil
Im making a whole fresh ham , where should I cut my slit to add pocket of seasoning?
I make the store trim all that off.
Why do you trim off that skin? That’s the best part.
Finally a video with made with raw ham!! None of that pre-cooked smoked nonsense 🙂 thank you
So happy for a video on Fresh Ham. Every time I ask for it in the store they point me to Smoked Ham. When I say this is not Fresh Ham they shrug their shoulders. So I special order it from my local butcher shop……….
No problem!! Even then they tell me it’s only available certain times of the year. Too bad. In my opinion, it’s the best part (besides bacon of course) of the pig!!!!
All recipes are SHOW STOPPERS & I Love Jack's tests !!!. Love All of them, esp the firsts' with Chris, "back in the day". WONDERFUL. BUY THEIR BOOKS!!! & Support this TERRIFIC enterprise. Very educational. My daughter, who's 38 now, taught herself to cook here & others, the summer after 5th grade!
I HAVE LOVED THIS SHOW SINCE I CAN REMEMBER!!! & AM A TRUE ADDICT, 💖💖💖 esp to your added chefs on TV this past 2-3 years!!! (I think; I lose count) 🤗 💖💖💖💖💖& I buy their adv Equipment & Books & Give them as "special presents" !!
Smoked or unsmoked matter???
EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VIDEO….
Love fresh ham , yours look like a winner
Some of us enjoy the pork that was raised in the backyard… fresh ham!!!
I've been drooling since they put it in the bag! 😋
Is this the same thing as a fresh picnic shoulder?
Christie is such a good presenter, I always enjoy when she's on
They got rid of all the skinny male cooks . . . when is Paula Dean going to join the crew?
